FOR SALE
08 March 2012 | FT. LAUDERDALE FL
As some of you know I developed Psoriatic Arthritis last summer. It has greatly weakened both arms to the point that sailing Blessed Spirit is no longer as safe as we desire it to be. So we have jointly come to the conclusion that she be put up for sale.
She may take a while to sell so we are now plannng to head North in a week or so and keep her in Maine where we can keep an eye on her and maintain her in the way we have for the last 14 years.
While at the helm last week, I thought that there are three different ways that every boat and owner must part company. The boat may be there but not the man, and that is not a good option. The man may be there but not the boat, and that too is not a good option. The third is that both the boat and man are there, but he makes a conscious decision to let another lucky man have his boat. This is the best option and the one that we are doing.
It will be very sad when Blessed Spirit is sold, but the decision to sell her was not difficult. It is now time to start the process.
